From March 4 – 6 2016 around 200 entrepreneurial students, aspiring entrepreneurs and startups met in Innsbruck for the start up event “Skinnovation” organized by the University of Innsbruck and the Austrian Economic Chamber/Junior Chamber. While skiing, they worked on innovative ideas, pitching took place on the ski lift and in front of investors in a giant igloo. Among 39 speakers, three experts from Israel, Dr. Ofer Zellermayer, Hilda Glick and Dr. Dafna Kariv, participated in this extraordinary event.
